"The chains are too tight, loosen them up a bit please!"
- Saint Josephine Bakhita's words in the last hours of her life, apparently remembering her slavery.
"The chains are very tight...", is the cry of thousands of people who to this day suffer the tragedy of slavery through human trafficking, whether as labour exploitation, sex trafficking, begging, organ trafficking, child marriage or any other modality that exposes people to forced work and deprives them of their dignity, rights and freedom of decision.
"...loosen them up a bit, please!" This cry represents a challenge for us today. We are all called to act to end human trafficking and bring healing to survivors.

The Mary Ward Centre as part of the Collaborative Network to End Exploitation - CNEE is aware that across Canada, immigrant workers perform essential jobs and contribute to Canadian communities. However, many of them have been denied rights such as receiving benefits that other workers receive such as changing employers, receiving a pension or, applying for permanent residency after many years of working in Canada. Temporary workers can easily lose their status and be deported, in addition to being exposed to unlawful working conditions that put them in a condition of labour exploitation.
